Eye Candy - 3d Cockpit


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)
Some early development shots of the Typhoon 3d Cockpit being re-worked...

Just an observation from my side. The windshield's (front canopy)

frame on most modern fighters, including the Typhoon, are perfectly

circular arc shaped until they hit the bottom cockpit frame.

 

On your cockpit model, it looks to straighten out before joining the

lower edge.

 

It seems, many developers oversee this fact, e.g. the early dev

pictures of Coretex Designs' F/A-18E shows a similar error.

 

Hopefully it is still early enough to fix that, on an otherwise very

promising looking modeling job!

 

Keep it up!

Thanks, still very early days on the Tiffy as focus has been on the Hawk.

 

Lucas, we're looking to start withy the Tranche 2 aircraft, for different countries and then move up to the latest Tranche 3, if we get data.

 

Cheers,

Do they lack the OSB's above the MFD? Hmm not too bad as we can use them for the centerline MFD then :D

 

Yep, there's just the on/off switch on the top bar...

You might find this interesting, here's a video shot from the backseat of a Typhoon. The buttons look just as unreadable in pretty much every single frame.

Corrected it for you.

 

Nice guesstimates though...

Hi, guys is there any update on the typhoon? I havent seen any news in a while. ive seen the tremendous progress that has been done on the hawk so I was wondering if the typhoon is on hold right now or is work still being done.

I wonder how continues the work on Eurofighter since the first cockpit screenshots published year ago... For me, Eurofighter is even more tempting than DCS F/A-18C or Coretex F/A-18E.

 

Oh god, how we need multirole fighter in DCS!

I showed some people at Duxford the 3d model of the Typhoon cockpit. I'll post some pics in the next few days.

 

Work has started implementing the switch test code and I'll publish a video of that as I go along the process, as below.

Basically I'm currently going through the cockpit adding all the switch and dial helpers including all the animations for each switch and dial, that's pretty time consuming.

Then it's linking the sim to those helpers, again takes time.

 

At that point I hand it over to Tango to take over on all of the systems code; electrical, hydraulics, etc. as per schematics.

That's just to get all the basic aircraft systems coded. Then it's onto the MFCD (as you would know them as) logic.

 

You actually start the Typhoon Engines with 4 switches, the rest is all done by computer on the screens.

 

For now, all the rest of the team are working on getting the Hawk over the line.

 

I know you guys want Tiffy, as do I but this one's gonna be a while yet.

 

Cheers,

C.

Have you decided which Block/PSC to make yet? So many to choose from. ;)

 

I guess you'll be going for at least a block 5 if not an 8. And I guess even then some fiddling will be necessary if you want to feature more than a handful of weapon types.

Hey Eddie,

Aiming for Tranche 2 block 8 but depends on the data we can get, might have to be the tranche 1 block 5 FGR4.

 

Would like to do a twin seater T3 as well at some point down the road.

For some reason the Eurofighter cockpit seems to be the most unique cockpit I've seen. Especially the two areas around the HUD, and the HUD glass.

If you want to talk to anyone about anything personal, send it to their PM box. Interpersonal drama and ad hominem rebuttal are things that do not belong on a thread viewed by the public.

One thing i have to point out... naming a thread.. "OK, so" is as useful as tits on a bull.

I've only just seen this... you should make that tiny snippet a sticky thread all of its own ;) :thumbup:

 

I love the twin seat Typhoons, It is quite possibly the best looking modern aircraft in the world. I hope this does indeed materialise.

Clear the flood waters and restart the great engines Mandus..

If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

Errrrrmmmm.....ok lol

 

I'm back at my pc this week so will post up some development shots of Tiffy for you :)

The Typhoon is really the only DCS Module that I would pay easily 100 Bucks right at release...but I wonder how realistic this Module would be..the EF is a "brand new" Plane with highly classified Systems I guess?!?!

My Specs:

I don`t care..it is a Computer..a black one..

you better post them now, before you are forced to work at the weekend because the week is soon over : )

Do both versions support ground attack?
